Chapter 1050 - 549: Dream Visitor, Dream Outsider
It harms all things to satisfy itself.
Isn't this fucking undoubtedly an evil artifact?!
If it were to forge a weapon, it would naturally become a bloodthirsty, hungry demonic blade, capable of devouring other lives and materials to strengthen itself. Moreover, once it grows, it might even backfire and erode the user!
Indeed, it saves time, effort, oil, and electricity, with surprisingly outstanding efficiency, but its only problem is being not so environmentally friendly...
If "Earth bears the sea" symbolizes the grandness of Ruins and the inclusiveness of matter, then the blessing in Ji Jue's hand at this moment has completely transformed into the brutality and cruelty of Ruins.
Alright, it's confirmed.
Ji Jue could barely hold on: "This thing is a pure Mutated version!!!"
"No shit, did you even see what you were sucking from?!"
Hua Xujun rolled his eyes up to the sky: "I may not understand your Superior theories, but think about what you've been doing, from the start until now. Can it really be connected to Superior?
You absorbed all the Mutated from the Vortex, and you still have the face to complain that the goods aren't genuine? Even if the genuine article fell into your hands, I'm afraid it'd turn wicked like this too!
The creator gave you everything at once, what more could you want, a bicycle?"
Did you say thank you?
Better thank Brother Ruins!
"Ah this..."
Ji Jue hesitated for a long time, raised his head, and saw the magnificent pillar still in place, hesitated, and tentatively said, "Thank you?"
The Ruins Pillar seemed to shine, flickering for an instant.
Immediately after, it silently vanished.
Was it really waiting for me to say thank you?!
Ji Jue felt numb all over, increasingly puzzled, and also, what did that last flicker mean?
He instinctively looked up, towards 'the interpreter' Hua Xujun, who rolled his eyes again, having encountered such a guy, it seemed he truly was dealing with a damned fool.
"With the grandeur of phenomena, why should there be human intelligence and speech?"
The cat said: "The system formed by all phenomena has its own operational rules. To translate it into words humans can understand... it's to encourage you to keep up the effort."
[?]
A question mark reappeared on Ji Jue's forehead.
How can I keep up with that?!
"... But I think, you'd better go stir things up somewhere else, stop being an eyesore at my doorstep."
Hua Xujun's tail waved, pointing at Ji Jue: "The door is over there, the way is under your feet, I'm closing shop, kid, hurry up and scram."
Leaving just like that?
Ji Jue was bewildered, turning back, he saw the door shining with flowing light, incredulous—he wouldn't even give a meal? Isn't this a bit too... uh, stingy with domestic support?
The black cat glanced at him sideways.
Didn't even bother to see what this dog was mulling over, it was just the freeloading idea as always. Who invented such damn things as craftsmen anyway?
Oh, that little Fire Stealer, tch, should have taken him too...
"Also, don't treat this place as a trash can."
The black cat wiped its paw, fished out a heap of gray-black stuff from the Sea of Souls below with a face full of disdain, almost pinching its nose while throwing the ball-shaped stuff: "Take your own things, please, don't discharge pollution everywhere!"
Ji Jue instinctively reached out and caught it, that tiny ball, but inside, countless micro Spirit of Creation, densely packed like an ant nest, fragile as though a breeze could extinguish them, yet seemingly brimming with infinite possibilities.
That's the... [Lord of Flies] after countless iterations in the sea of bitterness!
Did it really not burn clean by the edge of transformation?
He was startled for a moment, let out a soft sigh, put away the spiritual body formed by the aggregation of countless tiny spiritual wisdoms, and sincerely expressed gratitude: "Thank you."
Yet, as he turned back, heading towards the door, he couldn't help but look back at the black cat again.
Seeking permission.
"... If you have something to say, say it, if you have gas, release it!" Hua Xujun yawned: "Really, damn it, I owe something to you Moisture folks, every one of you is so troublesome!"
"No, just a bit curious."
Ji Jue asked: "After so many years, the Paradise reappears, do you, as the King of Chaos, have any new thoughts or plans?"
Still probing the situation.
The black cat sneered, shook its head, damn thing.
"Don't waste your brain cells, Ji Jue, people in a dream aren't interested in things outside the dream." He paused and asked back: "Besides, would a normal person actively look for shit to eat?"
"..."
Ji Jue was stunned, not expecting such a metaphor.
"I've already given up on reality, naturally won't backtrack. If it weren't for the contract and the limits of Paradise itself, I'd be too lazy to deal with you folks sitting in a flaming pit yet unaware."
Ji Jue pondered for a long time, finding it difficult to understand:
"Please enlighten me."
"The world of Superior is indeed stable, delineating phenomena, laying the foundation for past and future. This foundation compared to the world before is much more stable, but what about the cost, Ji Jue?"
Hua Xujun mockingly asked back: "If everyone pursues Superior, then beneath sublimation, stability, order, freedom, competition, transformation, beautiful dreams, and illusions, why is it still this brutal appearance?
Why is the evil created by your Superior even worse than the Great Evil beneath the Vortex? What significance does Superior have, what significance does the Great Evil have?
Where is the so-called distinction between good and evil?
Ji Jue remained silent, racking his brains but unable to respond, until he heard Hua Xujun's light sigh:
"Have you ever thought, if the fruits of your success belong to Superior, where do the evils you create go?"
